South Greenwood County has recorded the area's first tornado of the year. A rope tornado touched down at least once briefly near Severy, according to Greenwood County Emergency Management Coordinator Levi Vinson.

A second potential touchdown is under investigation.

Damage reports from the hail are spotty. Brad Davis says his farmstead about nine miles southwest of Emporia suffered a fair amount of damage from hail the size of ping pong balls and eggs. Mirrors on vehicles were smashed, windowsills were destroyed and his bean fields suffered at least some damage.

A warm front will provide a second chance for strong to storms from mid-evening Saturday to early Sunday morning.

A third round of storms possible Sunday. Initially, the thought was storms would roll across the KVOE listening area by late Sunday afternoon, but now it appears storms may not reach Lyon or surrounding counties until after sunset.

Sunday could see an all-hazards risk, but hail to the size of baseballs and heavy rain are currently the main concerns.
